gyakorlataiban

Gyakorlataiban is a Hungarian noun phrase used to express “in their practices” or “in their exercises.” It is formed from a base meaning practice or ritual and a set of suffixes that indicate possession and location, yielding a form that locates actions, customs, or routines within the practices of a group. The phrase is commonly encountered in literary, historical, sociological, and religious writings where authors discuss the habits, disciplines, or forms of conduct characteristic of a community or profession.

In use, gyakorlataiban can attach to different possessors, including groups or individuals, to specify whose practices are being referred to. It often appears in discussions of cultural or organizational norms, training regimes, or spiritual disciplines. The construction emphasizes collective tradition or established routines rather than single, isolated acts. Its flexibility allows it to appear in various contexts, from scholarly analysis to narrative description, whenever the writer wants to foreground the habitual practices that define a group.

Example sentence: A szerzetesek gyakorlataiban a csend és a fegyelem központi szerepet játszik. Translation: In the monks’ practices, silence and discipline play a central role.
